Quick Law, LLC

Masayo Quick, Esq.

Around 70-75% of people will require long-term care and the average length of a stay in a nursing home is about 2-3 years. The most proactive approach is to purchase long-term care insurance early. There are even options to avoid losing any of your hard-earned funds in the event that you are one of the fortunate 25-30% who do not require long-term care.

Even when long-term care insurance is no longer a feasible option, there are still legal, ethical and practical strategies to use the long-term care you have earned through all the years you paid into the system and still pass on a legacy to your loved ones or even your church or favorite charity/non-profit.

Failure to plan is planning to fail. This may sound harsh, but it is true, particularly when it comes to estate planning.

Proactive estate planning saves you money, saves your loved ones much hassle at a time of grief and ensures that your wishes are carried out. Colorado law allows an individual to begin estate planning at age 18 and that is not too early. Even an 18 year old could be involved in an accident or contract an unexpected illness at any time.

Additionally, estate planning is critical for any size estate. Even estates with little in the way of financial assets may involve the care of minor children or items of significant sentimental value, for example.

In any event, appointing someone to take care of your business if you cannot make your own decisions and ensuring that your wishes regarding life support are honored are of utmost importance for all of us. Having a Living Will in effect avoids the situation Terri Schiavo had where she spent over 15 years on life support while her family battled 14 Florida appeals and 5 Federal cases.

From the very first conversation regarding the probate process. You have been so helpful and courteous, I just could not have been more pleasantly surprised. It is nice to be able to step away from this matter just enough to take a everything into consideration. REFRESHING!
